Q. What is the surface area of the prism having the base area 25m2, base perimeter 24m and length 12m?
Understand formula for surface area: Understand the formula for the surface area of a prism.The surface area of a prism is the sum of the areas of all the faces. For a prism with a polygonal base, the surface area (SA) can be calculated using the formula:SA=2×base area+base perimeter×length
Plug in given values: Plug in the given values into the surface area formula.Given base area B=25m2, base perimeter P=24m, and length l=12m, we can substitute these values into the formula:SA=2×25m2+24m×12m
Calculate surface area: Calculate the surface area.First, calculate the area of the two bases:2×25m2=50m2Then, calculate the lateral surface area:24m×12m=288m2Now, add these two areas to get the total surface area:SA=50m2+288m2=338m2
